May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Sad to hear about the movie, but honestly my impression from the trailer was that it was going to be big on flash and little substance. Glad I waited on it.

Rainy, dreary Tuesday. Power outage last night that went on for about 5 hours. Made for a long evening. At least the power came back up around 3 this morning so we didn't have to wake up to a cold house. Still not sure how light rain knocks out an entire neighborhood for most of the night, but it is par for the course with Virginia Dominion Power.

One week and one day until the season premier of VIKINGS!!! RAGNAR RETURNS!!
We've got the first of two cold fronts this morning…with 100 percent humidity.
Cuts through you like a knife.
At least it's Wednesday!

So excited for Vikings to return! Hope that the stills and trailers I've seen that seem to depict Lagertha cozying up to King Ecbert are not indicative of where her character is headed this season.

Supposed to drop down to 16 here tonight. Our humidity is currently 40%, but it supposed to climb to between 65 & 70% tonight. Should be good and cool in the morning.

Sounds like you did very well for Valentine's Day Sister! Congrats!

Hope you are doing well. Heard it is primarily ice, wind, and power outages in your neck of the woods. Reports say that Tennessee and Kentucky were hit pretty hard. Calling for 6-12 inches here. Already snowing and have a couple of inches on the ground. Got in plenty of fire wood, and all prepped in case we lose power.

Hope you are okay out there Sister and the rest of the troops are well, safe, and warm.

We got 10 inches in my area yesterday. I was out in it last night at 11:00pm shoveling the sidewalk, the driveway, and a path to the road. Prevented me having to fool with much other than cleaning off the truck this morning. Less than half the staff showed up at work today, but of course we are one of the few businesses in the area not closed.

Tomorrow will be the tricky part once the snow melts from traffic, then refreezes overnight turning into a sheet of ice. Should make our trip.....interesting.

Still below freezing here, but at least the main roads are clear. Side streets and secondary roads are still a mess. Not supposed to get above freezing until Sunday and there is a chance of more snow tonight.

RAGNAR RETURNS!!
History Channel Tonight!!
It's 4 degrees here this morning…killing cold!
But our power is on…we've got the fireplace and plenty of supplies.
And did you see where Tesla is going to be offering batteries to
power a house? Gotta look into to that!
Have a warm and safe day!

So excited for season 3 of Vikings to kick off tonight! I will be glued to the set!

4 degrees? Ugh. 12 here this morning. Snow and ice on the roads is mostly melted. Still plenty on the ground and we're not supposed to get above freezing until Saturday.

I did see an article on the Tesla batteries. That would be great, but I highly doubt that the big power companies or their backers in Congress will ever allow an affordable alternative to ever get off the ground, let alone be made available to the public.

Hope you're ok out there in the frozen wastes of TN Sister. Got down to 1 degree last night. What's worse than it being 1 degree outside with a wind chill of -6 you ask? How about waking up with the power out. Yep, woke up just before 6am this morning to find the power off and the temp in the house in the mid 60s. Not cold enough to be of concern, but with me heading out to work it was a bit of an issue. Luckily the wife type let me know it came on shortly after 7:00. Total outage was only about 2 hours so we were lucky.

So the season 3 premiere of Vikings was pretty awesome last night! Anyone else get to watch it?

watching it tonight, BC1!…
Our power's been in and out as well.
Bracing for the next storm set to begin later today….
snow, wind, sleet, ice…they're just saying pretty much
everything. Oh and it's 16 here with a wind chill temp of 6.
Sucks.
But it's Friday and I'm making chili and brownies so
all is good.

Well I am glad that I did not spoil it for you by mentioning anything about last night's episode then Sister. Can't wait to see what you think about it. No one here at work watches so I have no one to discuss it with on Friday. Ugh!

Stay safe, warm, and I hope the power stays on for you guys. Do you have a back up generator?

WOW…Vikings new season looks to be FANTASTIC!!
Ragnar kicking some British ass!
Looks like beautiful land for farming, but at what cost?
So glad it's back.
We're above freezing, but when cold rain falls on top of snow,
it makes this pebbly icy sheet that is no fun to walk on.
We DO have a backup genny, but it's up in the motorcycle storage
building to provide light. In a pinch we could wrestle it back up
to the house.
Stay safe and enjoy a snowy Saturday!

Had big, snow-eating winds yesterday; not a speck of the white stuff remains!
Of course, we are being warned of the NEXT storm set to arrive tonight/tomorrow.
This is one freaky-ass long February.
Have a good day!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Glad you got rid of the snow finally Sister. Still on the ground here. We got a sleet / snow mix Saturday evening that made the roads messy, but not enough to close things down. Sunny and warmed up to high 30s yesterday which melted off a bit. Hopefully we can avoid any more for this season.

At least you have a genny. Hope you don't need it and are forced to muscle it back to the house.

It's Hump Day, at least…however we're going to get MORE snow today and tonight.
Again, is this the longest February ever?

It wasn't bad. Cool, but any day in the saddle, right? Did get some snow on the ride home, but nothing so heavy as to be unsafe and no accumulation. Of course they were calling for 1-3 inches tonight, but now the forecast has changed to 5-8 inches. *sighs* Thought we were done with the white stuff this year, but I guess it will be whatever it will be.

…four to five inches of snow in TN.
Everything is shut down. Dogs enjoy
running through it…I HATE it and want it
GONE.
Luckily I got supplies yesterday so I
don't have to get out in the mess.
Hope everyone is doing well on this
Friday Eve!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

We got another 5-6 inches here, but luckily most of the snow from last week had melted away. Neighborhood and secondary streets were bad, but once I got the truck to the main road it was a fairly easy commute.

Like you Sister I am over snow and winter in general. While snow is pretty to look at, it is not so much fun to drive in and less fun to have to shovel from my sidewalk and driveway. Ready for Spring to get here. Hated leaving the bike in the garage today. *sighs*

Next week looks awesome!
Have a great day.

It did indeed Sister. At least it got warm enough to melt the snow on the roads to make them safer today. Calling for low 60s one day next week, but forecast is saying rain 2-3 days next week. *sigh*

I know that Ecbert is up to no good in his flirting w/ Lagertha. I hope she doesn't fall for it. Some serious brutality in the show last night. Wow. Violent times indeed.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Good luck with the furry friend Sister. Hope everything is okay.

Sleet turned to rain yesterday and it stayed just above freezing. Saturday never got above freezing. 52 degrees here today and sunny. Makes me long for Spring all the more.

Dropping off the iron horse at the shop this afternoon. Time for the 30k once over, inspection, and replacing the front tire. Going to be without her until the weekend, but that is alright I suppose since they are calling for rain tomorrow and Wednesday and then snow turning to rain Thursday. Joke's on you Mother Nature, my bike will be in the shop! LOL

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Sure hope so Sister. Shop called to tell me they have her in the bay working on her today. Got my fingers crossed I have her back by Saturday. Supposed to be in the 50s here and mostly sunny. Itching to ride!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Snowing here now. Had sleet earlier. Leaving work in about 30 minutes to make the long drive home in this mess. Should be fun.

Weather for us looks to be in the 50s this weekend and a few days next week as high as low 60s. Like you Sister I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully this is the last Winter storm. The storm is named Thor by the way and came on Thor's Day. Coincidence? I think not!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Sorry you're not happy Sister. I am over it too. Two inches of ice yesterday, then a dusting of snow on top. Made it a very interesting drive in this morning. Not supposed to get above freezing today, but at least the sun is out and this weekend should be sunny and in the 50s.

Vikings = AWESOME!!
I don't like that mr. english king
is getting so much pressure to kick them out.
How about the fertilization ceremony!! Bloody Cool!
I may have to try that for my garden this year…
not a cow, though. Don't have one…hmmmmm

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Big Suck. Warm, but overcast here. Saying we will hit 70 today and sun will come by early afternoon. Wish I had the bike as it sounds like a marvelous day to ride home. Unfortunately she's in the shop waiting on one small part that they did not have in stock. Hope to have her back by the end of the week.
